Özet

The effect of Co-60-iradiation) on the electrical parameters in the Au/(ZnOMn:PVP)/n-Si SDs have been investigated using the current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance/conductance-voltage (C/G-V) measurements. Firstly, the values of reverse-saturation-current (I-o), ideality-factor (n), barrier-height (BH), shunt/series resistances (R-sh, R-s), and rectifying-rate (RR) were extracted from the I-V data before and after gamma-irradiation (5 and 60 kGy) using thermionic-emission (TE), Norde, and Cheung methods. The surface-states (N-ss) versus energy (E-c-E-ss) profile was extracted from I-V data considering voltage-dependent of n and BH using Card-Rhoderick method. Secondly, the doping-donor atoms (N-d), Fermi-energy (E-F), BH, maximum electric-field (E-m), and depletion-layer width (W-d) were extracted from the linear-part of reverse-bias C-2-V plot for 100 kHz before and after irradiation. Finally, the voltage-dependent profiles of R-s and radiation-induced of N-ss were extracted from the C/G-V plots by using Nicollian-Brews and the difference between C-V plots before and after irradiation, respectively. The peak behavior in the N-ss-V plots and shifts in its position was attributed to special-distribution of N-ss at (ZnOMn:PVP)/n-Si interface and restructure/reordering of them under radiation and electric field. Experimental results show that gamma-irradiation is more effective both on the I-V and C/G-V plots or electrical parameters, and hence the fabricated Au/(ZnOMn:PVP)/n-Si SDs can be used as a radiation-sensor.
